Buddy Thunderstruck is a stop-motion comedy series created by Ryan Wiesbrock as a Netflix original series, produced by Stoopid Buddy Studiosnote (Who are more famously known as the studio behind Robot Chicken.) and released in March 10, 2017.The title character, Buddy Thunderstruck, is an egotistical canine semi-truck racer. His best friend Darnell, a white ferret/stoat, serves as his mechanic, accomplice, and voice of reason (usually). The two spend their days alternately tormenting and being admired by the citizens of the small town of Greasepit, who don't seem to have anything more interesting to do, and of course, winning every race.A special Gamebook episode was released on July 14, The Maybe Pile. Only one season was made and it's unknown if the series will continue. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: While the story doesn't address you directly for the most part, Buddy makes an exception for the first decision point in the story, where he will give you a second chance when time runs out to make sure you understand how to play. After that the decisions will make themselves. | |

A Winner Is You: The extremely bad Crash Master 3000 game naturally has one of these; upon beating the game a simple fanfare and a "Good Job" message is displayed, and while this then causes the arcade cabinet to open an impenetrable vault containing a trophy, Buddy finds the small hand-sized trophy equally underwhelming. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: A lot of these are present in the series, specifically by Buddy's hand. The aforementioned constant victories are thusly half skill, and half dumb luck. He also managed to somehow construct a fully working arm cannon out of parts from the Rabble Rouser despite having absolutely no skill in mechanics. | |

Once Robby went to the bathroom, Big Tex screams "Turn the fan on... and the radio!" After Robby finishes teaching Buddy and Darnell how he reposseses, he gets a Growling Gut. Robby excuses himself before running to the bathroom then turning on the fan and the radio. | |
